Chapter 429: The Palladium Compass
Zuo Youdao's eyes stared at the onmyoji, and he said, "Why don't you take him back to the house first, the old family will definitely have the ability to watch him." When Senior Brother Zhuang went to the house's house to get the coffin, just escort him away by the way. ”
I said, "Don't you ask him who told him to spread sorcery everywhere?" ”
Zuo Youdao smiled a little helplessly: "No need to ask, it must be someone from the funeral sect." Ashiya Masanobu was arrested, and in the recent period, it is estimated that there will be no other movements in the funeral sect. ”
"Okay, I'll take this person with me. You guys wait here for a while, Boss Dong's people will come to pick you up, he just called me. ”
As I spoke, I picked up the Onmyoji and planned to leave.
But before the front foot stepped out of the door of the security room, I remembered the renovation of the old house again, so I turned around again and said to Zuo Youdao: "The family wants to do a new real estate and needs an agent, the second master asked me to choose someone, and I just made up my mind to choose you." Before Boss Dong officially takes over, there are some things that you need to communicate with him. ”
Zuo Youdao was stunned for a moment: "But I didn't accept it." ”
I took the Onmyoji out the door and smiled at Zuo Youdao: "You will definitely accept it." ”
After speaking, Wang Lei and I walked straight to the small courtyard next to the security booth.
This was the first time I crossed paths with Zuo Youdao, and I heard that he also talked about this experience when he wrote his own story.
Although I didn't have much contact with him at the time, I still had a good impression of him, but I didn't expect that at that time, the second master asked me to definitely let Zuo Youdao be the agent of the family, but not just to ask him to help contact Boss Dong, this so-called agent is long-term, unless Zuo Youdao passes away one day, otherwise, all the external affairs of the family will be taken care of by him.
To be precise, Zuo Youdao has become the nominal and de facto supervisor of the family since then, yes, it is the supervisor, not just the agent. His duties are also worth mentioning, not only to ensure the safety of the family, but also to help the family clean up the door during some special periods.
It can be said that the supervisor is a powerful existence for every big man.
Although when I just returned to the family, the second master had the intention of letting Zuo Youdao be the supervisor of the family, it was only an intention, and he had not yet made up his mind.
And the person who really made the second master make this determination was me.
Later, I heard the second master say that the stall in his hand will be taken over by me sooner or later, and when that day comes, the family will no longer be the family of the older generation, but the family of our small generation, and the affairs of the family in the future will be taken care of by our small generation after all.
Therefore, the supervisor he elected must be recognized by me.
After returning to the old house of the Yan family, the second master asked Yu Liyan to take the onmyoji to another hall, I went back to the house to pack my things, and planned to go to the old alley to find Li Huaishan, and by the way, I also asked Boss Wen what was the matter with me.
But before I could go out, the second master stopped me: "Why are you going?" ”
I said, "Go to the old alley to find Li Huaishan, and I have to discuss with them about Savage Mountain." ”
The second master waved his hand at me: "You'd better not go, the uncle's people are probably still waiting for you over there." ”
I patronized Zuo Youdao to deal with the Onmyoji before, I almost forgot about this stubble, and after the second master reminded me, I immediately dispelled the idea of returning to the old alley.
The second master knew me too well, and when he saw my face change, he knew that I wasn't going to go out, and then said to me: "If you're fine, go find Lao Qi again." ”
I scratched my head: "Looking for the Seventh Master?" ”
The second master raised his hand and pointed to my jacket pocket: "Didn't you just receive a magnetic root, just taking advantage of the fact that he has nothing to do in the past two days, let him fix the compass first." ”
"The second master also knows about the palladium compass."
"Nonsense, that compass was also won back from the outside when I was out in my early years." The second master smiled and said: "It just so happens that you go to find Lao Qi, and let him talk to you about the tomb, in our old family, there are not many people who have been to the tomb, I count one, Lao Qi counts as one, I have more tombs than him, but he has more experience than me." ”
I believe what the second master said, he is full of evil spirits, it is estimated that even if he goes to the tomb, he doesn't need to make much preparation, and when he encounters evil spirits after entering, he will rely on his fists to fight, which is no different from being on the ground. But the seventh master is different, the evil qi on his body is not as strong as mine, and he can survive from the tomb, it all depends on craftsmanship and luck, that is, people like him can accumulate some experience when they go to the tomb.
I nodded, and went to the Seventh Master's house with my pocket watch.
Generally speaking, the seventh master likes to stay in the slag yard in the morning, and in the afternoon, as long as there is nothing special, he usually watches TV at home.
When I came to the seventh master's house, he had just entered the courtyard door with his front feet, and when he heard footsteps at the door, he turned his head and opened the door, and I had just raised my hand at this time, and I didn't have time to knock on the door.
As soon as the seventh master saw that the person outside the door was me, he immediately asked, "Did you get the magnetic root back?" ”
I took out my pocket watch from my pocket and shook it in front of him: "It cost me two hundred bills, and I lost to death." ”
The seventh master suddenly smiled: "Two hundred is not a loss." Although the pocket watch is not valuable, only it can repair Luo Geng, and it is really not a loss. ”
While talking, the seventh master beckoned me into the house.
The seventh master and the second master live alone, and the second master lives alone because the second grandmother passed away early, but the seventh grandmother is still alive now, but I heard the second master say that my seventh grandmother seems to be the guardian of Changbai Mountain, and she can't leave her own realm at will, and every two years, the seventh master can only go to Changbai Mountain to see her once.
As soon as he entered the house, the seventh master hurriedly entered the west bedroom and took out a small box of pear blossom wood from it.
"Here, give me the magnetic root." The Seventh Master stretched out his hand to me, and I immediately handed him the pocket watch.
I saw that the seventh master first quickly opened the case, and then took out a big red cotton cloth from his pocket, covered the yin qi in the case, and said to me, take out the disk.
I opened the pear blossom wooden box and saw a bright white compass lying inside.
Generally speaking, most of the feng shui compasses are made of brass or black copper, like this pure white compass, which is extremely rare in the industry, but in addition to the material, the structure of this palladium compass is no different from the common ternary triple plate.
The whole compass is divided into 36 layers inside and out, Tianchi is the first layer, the second layer is the gossip hexagram, the third layer is the nine-star map, the fifth layer is the twenty-four mountains, the tenth layer is the seventy-two dragons that pierce the mountain, the sixteenth layer is the sixty-four hexagrams, and the last layer, that is, the thirty-sixth layer, is the land division gold.
These layers are the ones I use the most when looking at Feng Shui.
Because the compass has many layers, but the area is very small, only the size of the palm, so whether it is the hexagram shape, astrological signs, or words engraved on it, it is very small, but when I got closer and looked closely, I found that although the text is small, it is very detailed, and every stroke is extremely clear.
The seventh master said to me on the side: "Although this compass is not an antiquity, it is also from the hands of a famous artist, and it is priceless." ”
I smiled and took the compass out, it didn't look big, but it was quite weighty, I tried to weigh it twice in my hand, and I couldn't help but wonder, "Why is it so heavy?" ”
"It's stuffed, of course it's heavy." The seventh master smiled and said to me, "Hurry up and bring it, don't delay." ”
Only then did I put the palladium compass in the hand of the seventh master, and asked, "What materials are added to it?" ”
"Three catties of ebony wood, six taels of anvil gold, and seventy-two earth longans."
While talking, the seventh master quickly lifted the red cloth covering the pocket watch, and then picked the edge of the case with his fingers, and with a little force, the entire surface was pulled out, and then he unscrewed the Tianchi of the compass, pinched out a small gear from the pocket watch, put it in the depression under the Tianchi, and then quickly screwed the Tianchi on.
All the movements were almost completed in two or three seconds, and it wasn't until the seventh master finished tossing that I thought about it for a while before I figured out what he had just done.
You know, this is all delicate work, just the pinion he pinched out of his pocket watch, not much bigger than peppercorns, if it were me, I would have more than two or three seconds to pinch that thing.
It's also strange to say, as soon as this gear enters the compass, the resentment on the pocket watch disappears, either dispersed, or suddenly, disappears without a trace.
I frowned and asked the seventh master: "Seventh master, did you press the resentment in the pocket watch in the compass?" ”
The seventh master nodded: "Yes." This resentment is the magnetic root I am looking for. This palladium compass has a disadvantage, that is, it needs evil qi to fix the magnetism, and this evil qi cannot be too strong, nor too weak, every five years, the evil qi is exhausted, and you have to find a new magnetic root to fix the magnet. ”
Just now, when the gear was not put into the heavenly pool, the pointer on the compass was still shaking again and again, and now the pointer is indeed fixed, the black needle is pointing to the north and is motionless, and the red needle is also fixed in the direction of due south.
I asked the Seventh Master again: "Seventh Master, what are the anvil golden flowers and earth longans you just mentioned?" ”
The seventh master smiled and said, "I don't know, I also heard the master who made the plate say so, and I knew that there were these things in it." Hey, what do you care about what they are, as long as Luo Geng is easy to use? ”
"Yes." I nodded, put the compass away, and said to the seventh master: "Seventh master, I heard the second master say that you have been to a lot of tombs before, share and share your experience." ”
Seventh Master: "Haven't you ever been to the grave, and you still use me to share your experience?" But before you go to the grave, there are some things you really need to study. For example, the local weather conditions, the distribution of water flows, and the religion and customs of the local people should be investigated. ”
I was a little confused: "Religious customs? ”
The seventh master nodded: "Well, I haven't been to the tombs abroad, but I have been to the ancestral tombs of several ethnic minorities before, and some taboos in the lives of the locals are related to the evil in the tombs." Heck, this kind of thing, you can't say it clearly in a sentence or two, in short, you just have to remember it. ”
